Not signing a left back was all the more bizarre looking back. We risked half of the previous season selling Oviedo and not replacing him, and people were uneasy even then with three possibility that Gareth Barry might have had to fill in.

Yeah, he's 22 just. I think there's question marks over his attitude but there's plenty time for him to knuckle down and sort himself out. With the right manager he could still be a very good player.

I agree players of that kind of age should always be given a chance as time to turn around whatever is holding them back and it come together. Certainly was a big question mark on him when he got the move to United for that money, started earning 130k a week and turns up for first day at one of the biggest clubs in the world overweight and very unfit and had to be sent to train on his own until he got to the required weight levels and not considered for matches.

19 years old and the world at your feet you'd expect the very least you'd ready to impress on day one even if you have attitude or desire problems that mean dont make the most of the situation. So yes it's possible he wakes up one day and thinks wasting his career and decides to put things right but do have to question if didnt do that when got the move to United and a few years on behind Young, Blind, Darmian and Rojo then would a move elsewhere change anything? Kind of situation where a loan for a year would be ideal to see what his motivation is really like given he'd still cost a big fee and his wages are very high but the potential he once had is still in there for someone to get out.

Shaw has the potential to be really good, you would think a move to a club like United would've help him achieve that, but he's failed badly, yes I know he had a really bad injury but his fitness and weight issues have been well documented. Pretty sure Van Gaal had a go at him in a few press conferences, said his attitude and lack of commitment during training was woeful.
